Farewell my dear friend is what I have to say;
though I wish from my heart that you could stay.
You have been an amazing friend thus far;
A true gem, a shinning star.
You have been there in the littlest of ways;
Just to show that you care always.
Here's a message from me to you;
Just remember my words are true.
The worlds your oyster as they say;
So you just go along and play.
My wish for you is all of lifes best treasures;
Coz my friend you are truly special beyond measure.
Always remain as you are;
A perfect masterpiece by far.

Just because I'm not like you - doesn't make me strange
I may be wired differently but definitely not deranged
I am a glow worm emitting a light when I'm at my best
But for that to come into sight I need my antisocial rest
I blend in like a chameleon when I'm in a crowd
But feel a reckless need to leave when the voices get too loud
Makes me feel like an addict in need of narcotics
Though I'm perfectly normal I get looked upon as psychotic
Just because I'm not like you - doesn't make me strange
I am a normal human being - definitely not insane
I connect with people that are non judgemental
Their place in my life is definitely instrumental
If I don't like you - you'd be sure to know
Coz I ain't the type to put on a show

The sound of the r

hitting the ground
As if they trying to make musical sounds
The patterns I see as they drop
Just makes me want to stop and watch

There's such beauty on a r a i n y day
If only more people could say
They don't stop to take notice of this beauty
Coz they are all in a rush to perform their duties

If only one would stop and say, "what a beautiful day hooray! "
If only they would rejoice to see
This natural beauty that comes for free

Be not dependent like a scavenger
Instead be a survivor, a worrior that fights for survival

Run wild - an unbroken stallion
Strong and determined
Held down by nobody but you
The limits that define you are what you set forth
Your ability and capability is within your control

You are beautiful, capable and amazing
You were born with a purpose - a purpose that you will fulfill when the time is right
Sure things may not always be great. You do have your days where you feel incapable of anything including getting out of bed
You question your need and purpose. You question your worth and capabilities
But remember that is just a phase
It's like a passing storm that will eventually give rise to a beautiful day. Never doubt yourself
Embrace your individuality, your sexuality, your cultural identity
Be proud of yourself
As long as your are a good human being - that's all that matters
We all are of the same language - the language of humanity
Stand proud

Sometimes our eyes simply do not see
Our ears do not hear
We confuse our true self with our "Show" self
The self that's consumed by ego
The self that does not realize the value of relationships
The self that does not stop to appreciate the little simple pleasures offered by life
Do not just look.. But SEE
Do not just hear... But LISTEN
Always be your TRUE self - only then will you
truly find complete happiness and appreciation in what life has to offer

"Would you burn for me?" said the Candle to the Flame

Change just like death is inevitable
How we cope solely depends on us
We decide if we want to live in the past; let it haunt us or we embrace it, accept and move on but bare in mind - it does not mean that we forget what led us there.....

Do not judge me by my looks
I am a bottomless hole
A desert storm that can consume your every being
Without whom you'd be left forlorn

He kissed her - brought her back to life
With the realization that it was him
she needed all along
He is both her storm and shelter from the rain
Her anger and calmness
Her turmoil, anxiety and peace
It's madness but it's what she needs
An insane love story

In silence I hear the words creep through my mind;
Latching onto my thoughts like a parasitic vine.
Darkness surrounds me with no room for light;
Yet I somehow feel quite alright.
It has a warmth, a comforting that only I can relate too;
Something that makes me feel like I'm going to make it through.
A safe haven built just for me to escape;
From life's dreaded escapades

Trapped in a world all black and grey

That's the comfort that makes her stay

Surrounded by walls too high to scale

A deranged madness just hers to play

She feels things deeply like no other

Though a smile on her face is not a bother

Webs weaved intricately capturing her every emotion

As deep, dark and beautiful as the moon worshipping the ocean

there she stood mirrored in her reflection
a flame dancing on water

The skies the limit, so they say, so I try to reach it every day
I drop to my knees fold my hands to pray
And hope to God for my strength to stay.

I never thought that I would see this day
When all my fears come out to play
I tried to hide them deep inside
But it's forced itself to the outside

How am I to put them back away?
Do I just dig a hole bury them in clay?
Do I close my eyes hope they go away?
Or do I stand tall and vanquish them away?

Anger pulses through my veins
All that remains is this undying rage
Supressed for far too long
Damaging all that mistakenly comes in my way
I cannot contain all that wishes to come out
Like the aftermath of a hurricane
Debris of emotions scattered everywhere
With no ability, no strength left to clean up
All I have is deep regret
For the situation I was unable to prevent
But how am I to blame?
I tried for far too long
My jar of emotions was overfilled
It had to flow out sometime or the other

You have burnt your mark onto my soul
I'm now branded for life
That even after death your mark will reside
For my eternal soul lives for you

To her the night brings forth a constant anxiety
Her mind travels to every crevice on the moon Searching...
Only to be brought back to the warmth moist air that suffocates her

For the fears within you grow
When you feed them
Every uncertainty, doubt, lack of self esteem
Helps these fears manifest stronger
Providing them with a power you eventually will be unable to control
Starve these fears
Starve them so much that they fade away
Think positively
Think happily
Believe, have faith in yourself
Love yourself

Your demons devour my soul
Drawing me closer to you
My inner voice shouts to stay away
Yet like opposite poles of a magnet
I'm stuck to you

Spring time is here
What better way to cheer
To marvel at mother natures wonder
That can be admired beyond yonder
This is by far a magical feeling
Taking it in - your soul healing
All the trees and plants blossom away
Reminding us of natures ways
Leaving us all in awe
Hands to our cheeks dropped jaw
Oh what a blessing nature is to us
Providing us with calmness in life's rush

They were different but
      same
           A force that nobody could
     tame

Kissing you is like consuming a cuppa hot chocolate on a winters day - needing and wanting
Your lips on mine is life's guilty pleasure

gold burns in fire yet it shines
a constant reminder of our loves time
heated arguments that scorched our soul
polishing it vigorously to glitter like gold
of all the words that were said
there is this three we never will regret
I LOVE YOU, I ALWAYS WILL
in this moment time stood still
we gazed at each other
a galaxy of stars
no room for distractions
just the magnetism of our hearts

Your eyes tell a story of innocence
Yet your mind is poisoned with deception
You lure me with your inviting looks
Your Laughter a growing infection
You are a gracious orchid laced with thorns
Consumed by dark intentions
To do all the wrongs

In his touch was the warmth of the sun
That melted her cold heart
With each d
                                r
                         o
                                       p..
Her anger released
Replaced with pure passionate love

How much do I love thee you may ask?
I love thee with all that I am - it ain't a farce
I love thee by being unapologetically me
I love thee because it sets me free
I love thee with a flame that burns so bright
A flame that could rob the day of light
A flame that only thou can ignite
A flame that can withstand any fight
I love thee with all of my heart
Even at the times when we're apart

And there I was
climbing my ladder of insecurities
finding what makes me tick
like a bomb bound by time
Trying to create something
that is mine
Consoling myself that all will be fine

Everything beautiful comes with
a little imperfection
even a rose has thorns

My minds a mess
I can't contest
Confined by the prison in my head
My thoughts are fed
I'm no longer able to get out
Even if bang on the bars and shout
There's no warden
Coz my heart has hardened
And I'm now left to my own vices

And even though there were nights my tears ran dry...
Each drop of my blood would still sing your praises
For a love as rare as yours - is worth much more

I lay awake in bed
Unable to put my thoughts at rest
They argue with each other - noises in my head
Why do they do it to me
When I'm so fatigued
I do not have the strength anymore
Just wish I could shut the door
The door that let's them out
Makes me wana scream and shout
I have no control over them
My mind can't seem to comprehend
Why is it only at night
These thoughts come out to fight

Believe in better - that's what she said
to the voices that quarrelled in her head
though she knew things may never change
she refused to let go - feeling deranged
pain began to feel like pleasure
a sense of eroticism - newfound treasure
a feeling bound just to her
with silver handcuffs covered in fur
masked with a golden eye patch
a body with stories in every scratch
fevered madness loomed over
she could never get enough of her lover

And in his eyes I see love
I could stare at them for hours
Never tire
This love that's just for me
I'd happily drown in them
And feel at peace

Do you know me as I am or do you see all that you can;
Too quick to pass a judgment without knowing what is true.
Where were you when I was down and blue?
You could've seen me you could've knew.
You chose to walk away n' watch me suffer from afar,
While leaving you left the door ajar.

Why did you do it? You could've stayed. You could've helped me, I would've changed.
My soul would have been glowing without even knowing, but it was you , it was you

I rise like an ocean tide, swelling up no place to hide.
I know that I am better, I know that I can.
And what is this life if I can't take a stand?

A little kindness will live on
Long after you are gone
This will keep your memory alive
And help the wounded to survive

You were born to live...
Not just exist

she lay her head upon his chest
his heartbeat - rhythmic poetry
put her demons to rest
messianic beats understood by her soul
his gentle touch stroking her hair
assuring her he will always be there
embraced in each others arms
cacooned away from any harm
tempestuous emotions at a rising alarm
the only time there's a storm before the calm

Love is love
Why don't you see?
It's pure, non judgemental and meant to be free
Just like the magnificent deep blue sea
It does not discriminate against all that live in it
Even at those who just go for a dip
So who are we to judge who people should love?
We should learn to show respect and rise above
Kindness and humanity should matter the most
Not the ones that make fun off others and boast
We are all children of God
Love all, do good and don't make others feel odd

You glistened like gold
When I first saw you
I was elated
T'was as if I had found a pirates treasure

You brought with you high promises
So high that even you were unable to reach it
You pursued me to help you for your own
selfish needs
Yet you failed to observe I was a smoldering piece of coal
Almost burnt-out

Like the radiance of a full moon
she was silent, bright and powerful
embedded within her was each phase
that reflected her missing self
waiting to become whole again

I lie awake, unable to put my thoughts at rest.

Visions of you fill up my mind
I smile just thinking you're one of a kind
You have stood by me through times of unrest
Even though I wasn't at my best

You encouraged me, motivated me, held me when I cried
And told me "It's okay at least you tried"
"We can get through anything" is what you always say;
"As long as we have each other, believe and pray"

I'm only strong coz of you
You are the only one that helps me through
My pillar, my strength, my shelter from the storm
It's coz of you we can face it all

I gave you my heart and soul to hold
But you let it break
My heart was as pure as gold before
And now it feels fake
I knew it was you I shouldn't trust
Coz now my heart is covered in rust
Rust that can't be removed
Guess I'm left feeling fooled

I knew I should have trusted my gut
But it was out of my control
All my senses had become shut
As I had been cajoled
Why had you pretended to be mine?
You pathetic, obnoxious cold-hearted swine
You brought with you a promise of love
Yet all I received was a cold heartless shove

He was intoxicating
A feeling you get after consuming a bottle of *****
A head rush, happy endorphins released
With you I felt capable, able enough to take on anything
To be anything
To touch
To feel
To believe
You were my magic pixie dust

Kindness makes a huge difference
It's something that comes for f r e e
And truly is P R I C E L E S S

I stand before you
baring my naked soul
my heart sizzling - a piece of coal
all my walls broken down
its in your love, I want to drown
all my insecurities ripped to shreds
an explosion of feelings being fed
your hands send me into wild frenzy
you are my potent drug
